How to show/maintain Extend Session timeout Window in Ruby on Rails

I have used rails devise gem for authentication. Specifically, I have used devise timeoutable module for session timeout with 30 minutes.

I need to make a pop up which prompts after 29 minutes & able to extend the session for next 30 minutes exactly same as that of implemented in Unfuddle.com .

On this prompt there are 2 buttons and one timer: "Stay logged in", "Logout", and timer for 60 seconds. If I click on "Stay logged in" button within 60 seconds then session should be extended up to next 30 minutes without change or refresh the page. If I click on Logout then user should be logout his session and redirects to login page. If I don't press any of the above 2 buttons within 60 seconds then it automatically redirects to the login page. Guidance will be appreciated.

I have used following code in devise session_controller:

def skip_timeout

    request.env["devise.skip_trackable"] = true

end 

def extend_admin_session

    request.env["devise.skip_trackable"] = false

    @time_left_insec = Devise.timeout_in - (Time.now - admin_session["last_request_at"]).round

    render :json => @time_left_insec

end

To dynamically set the timeout for each user, you can define a method in the user model called timeout_in that returns the timeout value.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise (...), :timeoutable

  def timeout_in
    if self.admin? 
      1.year
    else
      2.days
    end
  end
end

Thing is you need to define a method and have to call accordingly ...

I would suggests you to check out source code of timeout module in Devise

Hope this help you !!!
